Hi Guys
I’m glad to read that you like the magazines. The Fall issue was just mailed with the calendar this week. We like to have the online version available for members ahead of time. Thanks!
Yes, kudos all round, Brad. The magazine is the heart of the Association. You do a great job.
By the way, I found an error in the H.B. Dow ledger on the last page of that article. It listed the .22 WRF as having a 1:20 rate of twist.
That didn’t seem right, so I ran a patch through my Model 1890 and checked the distance for one complete rotation. It was 1:14.
Next, I pulled a bullet and ran it through the Greenhill formula. The .22 WRF shoots a 45-grain bullet that’s 0.487″ long. Mine clock out at 1,401 f.p.s. According to George, it needs a 1:15 twist to be stabilized.
Interesting, eh?

Hi Pete
Thanks for the kind words. My friend Dan Shuey had Dow noted at one time as traffic operations and an office manager. The ledger is full of miscellaneous Winchester information, sorted alphabetically. There are quite a few item dimensions and weights listed. Definitely could be a mistake in his ledger. It looks like it is listed as 1-14″ in a 1930 Winchester rifle bore measurements table.

As I just noticed the mail truck out front 500 feet away at the road, I took a walk down to see if the Magazine and Calendar were there, but not yet!
Anxiously waiting!

Thanks again Brad, as I just walked down to the box and was happy to see the magazine and the calendar in the envelope!
Some bedside reading material that I’m looking forward to!

In regards to this threads title, I have to give credit to Pete for an outstanding article, as I decided to dig into it last night and will continue to chew on it for awhile! Great Job, Pete!
For me, being an old school guy as many members are here on the WACA Forum, I have to say that I enjoy the paper copy in my hand, much more than the electronic version online, but the EV, is a nice feature also for the members!

Once again the team has done a great job on an outstanding magazine. From member Tim Tomlinson’s amazing Henry on the Cover, a great choice, to Bert’s great article on the M-55!
A lot to learn as I read on.
